Weight Management for Children

Susie currently works part time at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead where she is the specialist weight management dietitian. Overweight and obesity in children is a significant problem in Australia. It is known that 1 in 4 of our school aged children is overweight or obese.

Good nutrition in childhood is vital to ensure good long term food and nutrition habits are developed and maintained. Susie has a wealth of paediatric nutrition experience particularly in the areas of:

Weight management for children and adolescents

Fussy eating

Iron deficiency

Nutrition for pregnancy and breastfeeding

Post pregnancy nutrition

Susie usually works in conjunction with a child’s General Practitioner or Paediatrician to ensure all aspects of your child’s health are managed.
